02/17/2007 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York's David Lee garnered MVP honors with 30 points, making all 14 of his shots from the floor, as the sophomores beat the rookies, 155-114, in the All-Star rookie challenge Friday night.
Lee, who tops the league with 61.2 percent in shots made this season, also had 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots and Monta Ellis added 28 points on 13-of-16 shooting for the sophomores, who set a scoring record for the contest.
"It was a tremendous experience just to be included in the All-Star Weekend," Lee said. "I really thank the NBA for making me a part of it. I went out tonight and we said we were going to share the ball and have fun. We had some of the Phoenix Suns assistants as coaches, so we were running and gunning. Chris Paul and Deron Williams made it very easy on me tonight."
Paul came up with 16 points, 17 assists and nine steals for the sophomores. Williams tallied 19 points, while Danny Granger and Raymond Felton each had 17 and Luther Head 15.
The sophomores shot 74.7 percent (68-of-91) to win going away.
"It was a lot of fun, especially after participating last year as a rookie," Paul said. "We got beat. As sophomores, we didn't want to let that happen again. We felt like we were veterans coming into this game tonight."
Rudy Gay and Paul Millsap shared top scoring honors for the rookies with 22 points apiece. Adam Morrison ended with 16 and Randy Foye 14 in a losing cause, as the rookies struggled to a 4-for-21 performance from beyond the arc.
Lee's follow jam extended the sophomores to an early 28-15 lead in the opening half and the rout was on. The sophomores led 77-48 at the intermission and cruised the rest of the way.
Toronto's Andrea Bargnani, last year's top draft pick, had 12 points.
The matchup was a prelude to the NBA All-Star game, scheduled to take place this Sunday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Also, Friday New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush sprained his right ankle in the Celebrity game, won by the West squad, 40-21, over the East. Bush hurt his ankle while trying to block a shot, but came down awkwardly on the ankle and was assisted off the court.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
